Ok, let me start off by saying that I'm one of those people who would rather download and install an .rpm or .deb without the use of a package manager. I would rather save it and its dependencies for use later b/c who knows if the site you got it from will still be around next time you go install it.

That said, I'm having a really hard time doing this for my n800/ 2008 OS. I'm able to dig around and find the .deb, but the dependencies I find always complain about being incompatible.

Is there any way I can save the installed packages and dependencies --- or at the very least, is there a folder where all the .debs are saved when I install them via the package manager?

Thanks in advance!
